Same here, along with right-clicking on an ISO in Nautilus, and burning
from there.  Worked fine, including the media check.  I'm using Verbatim
DVD+R discs.  I've found their discs to be the best that I can buy,
here.  Much of the discs in the local shops are utter crap.  And + discs
are supposed to have some advantages over - ones, though that does
depend on the drive making using of the features.
